However, MUFC have confirmed that the 25-year-old midfielder will join his team-mates in the United Arab Emirates next week.

Since the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the interim boss, the £290,000-a-week star (The Daily Star) has been in sensational form.

He has netted four goals in four PL fixtures and United need him to be perfectly fit when the club collide against Tottenham Hotspur away from next weekend.

We have won five out of five fixtures so far under Solskjaer but the game against Spurs will be the first major test for him.

It is quite possible that the rivals and their supporters are not taking us seriously at the moment after our victories against weaker oppositions. So, the Norwegian manager can make a massive statement by beating the north Londoners at Wembley.
